<h1>Adding a section to a document</h1>
<p>You can insert additional sections within the predefined document sections. 
 This allows you to customize each section independently of the other. 
 For example, you may want one section that repeats before the Detail section 
 and after any grouping headers, and a second section that does not repeat. 
 Add an additional section within the Detail Header and set the properties 
 for each section. </p>
<p>Another reason to use additional sections is relative vertical positioning. 
 That is, if you have multiple grids placed on top of each other in a section, 
 the grids can overlap in the exported PDF version of the document. Inserting 
 a new section and placing each grid into its own section will allow them 
 to grow without overlapping. </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: The new section is formatted 
 like the section into which it was added.</p>
<h2>Relative vertical positioning</h2>
<p>Another reason to use additional sections is relative vertical positioning. 
 That is, if you have multiple grids placed on top of each other in a section, 
 the grids can overlap when the PDF is generated. Inserting a new section 
 and placing each grid into its own section will allow them to grow without 
 overlapping. </p>
<h2>Inserting sections in horizontally displayed sections</h2>
<p>If a section is set to display horizontally, it will print horizontally 
 across the page. For example, Detail sections are displayed next to the 
 group header. You can add a section to a horizontally displayed section, 
 as with vertically displayed sections. The only difference is that you 
 insert the section to the left or right of the original section, rather 
 than above or below it. The new section is displayed horizontally as well. 
 </p>
<p>For more information about horizontally displayed sections, see 
<a HREF="Repeat_info_horizontally.htm">Displaying 
 and repeating information horizontally</a>.</p>
<h2>To insert an additional section into a document</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Open the document in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design 
 </B></span>or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable Mode</B></span>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Select a section in the document layout area.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>From the Insert menu, select either <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Insert 
 Section Above</B></span> or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Insert Section 
 Below</B></span>. <span style="margin-left: 40px;">A line appears in the Layout 
 area to divide the sections.</span></p></li>
</ol>
<ol start="4" type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>You can size the sections by clicking the line divider 
 and dragging it. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>The new section is formatted like the section it was added to. You can 
 format the new section and the original section independently.</p>
